People seem confused by Lewis saying he won't back off meaning he doesn't want to lose time giving the place

[stefanroseEP]

Lewis let him pass when George got to him as he said.

[rroberts]

They didn't need to fight at that stage of the race as they were on different strategy. The fight would come after final stint.

but BOTwas never in a situation where hes fight for the championship. its funny how people talks about BOT but he can barely beat max. BOT is same as Perez, they cannot defend against their own team because they are simply not fast enough.

This is exactly what happened between Nico and Lewis in 2014 Hungary. Lewis will not slow down, but he will not fight either. He dont want to lose on time and basically saying "if he is quicker, prove it to me and I will let him pass." The only difference is that Russell simply just drive quicker and get to overtake Lewis while Nico was busy complaining and ended up behind Lewis despite being on quicker tyres.

After Lewis reply, the pit wall next message was. “George….is…faster…than you “

Lewis This is James.
Valtteri: Payback!

[theoutsder]

no wdc would back off, & no one should tbh, i remember seb one time...

[lordvader-jngz]

max should learn something from lewis 😂

[worldcitizen]

this is what let to a new clause in Lewis's new contract. The "do not ever ffing ask me to move over again" clause

[beastofackworth]

Im not backing off: followed by him backing off.

[hamcrazy]

Lewis holds compassion for teammates and competitors alike in F1 that’s very hard to come by in this sport

[MuhammedChand]

Genuinely don't understand George in these races. If he fels he can go faster then he should. If he buggers his tires or screws his own strategy then that's on him.

[scalemodelbuilder]

Now he knows how bottas felt between 2017-2021.

[racemiiklutch]

Didn't all F1 drivers sign a dotted line on paper to know that only Max win thats included Russell an Lewis. Somehow Lewis car never good enough. Little bro cannot beat big bro V8 max big bro

[AZBCDE]

Lewis is the best wingman since Bottas 😂😂😂

[bundybir]

"I AM NOT BACKING OFF" Literally backs of the very next corner

[chrisfleming]

Mercedes know that lewis is their "yesterdays man" and george is their man of the future.

[angel.]

7 times world champions proving without a good car or a whole team backing him off he is overrated

[leonardoluc]

The Sir drama Queen 24/7 in the news to stay relevant or else as a F1 driver he is done like Botta$ for all those years. Go George show us yr the boss
